Help

Its been really hard to get a nursing job in northeast ohio for new grads, but I recently got one and am orienting to the position now.

My fiance who also graduated with me has been searching and the only offer she has gotten was just yesterday for an interview on my floor! (We are also expecting in January)

Now we dont know what to do, should we disclose to the nurse manager that we are a couple, or let her get the job first then do so, we dont want and more importantly cant afford to screw this up. What should we do because people will eventually talk and know we are a couple and we are afraid they could fire us for not disclosing that we are engaged before she were to accept a position.

This is a perdicament! Most facilities I have worked in will not let family members work where one would supervise the other. My best advice would be have your fiance interview and at the end mention your relationship adding that she hopes it won't interfere with being considered for the position. Good luckto you both!

I would mention it up front. We had relatives working our floor, often they would just put one on a different shift than the other. What you don't want is to appear as if you had withheld information in the interview. Because sooner or later, everyone will know about your relationship.

Let them know now.

I would let them know ASAP - you don't want to mess it up for both of you. It may be fine. Where I work - it is allowed to have family in the same department if they are in equal postions and one or the other doesn't have any authority over the other. Also try to search for the policies for that particular company. GOOD LUCK to you both!

I personally wouldn't say a thing until after she got offered the position.

Legally, you can't be asked about marital status during an interview, so I wouldn't disclose anything that I didn't have to.

you need to be honest. if not, things could be much worse! they may be able to work something out anyhow, you never know. i do understand that its a scary prospect though.. gl!

and congrats btw!
